The “Toy Story Part 1 and 2” is indeed a Fantastic animated movie. For most of the people the movie remains close to their hearts as it was a great film.

It attracted everyone’s inner child by making them wonder how the secret life of toys would be like. Now, Pixar and Walt Disney have unveiled the trailer for Toy Story 3 their long awaited trip back to the toy box.

The latest news is that the Hollywood animator John Lasseter is ready to get a lifetime award from the Producers Guild of America. He will become the first animator to receive the David O Selznick honour.

The Guild said the award is to recognize Lasseter’s groundbreaking work with Pixar, and called him “a uniquely talented producer”, reports The BBC.

On 24th January, Lasseter, 52, who continues to oversee animation at Pixar, will collect his award at a ceremony. In 1995 ‘Toy Story ‘was the first full-length computer-animated movie to be produced.

Later the creator and director of ‘Toy Story’ supervised the production of its sequel ‘Toy Story II’, ‘Cars’ and ‘A Bug’s Life’. In fact, four films made by Pixar have gone on to win the Oscar for best animation.

Last month, at the Venice Film Festival ‘Star Wars’ director George Lucas presented Lasseter and his team with the lifetime achievement award.
